As I began rushing around trying complete my hectic Monday list of chores I had an unexpected and delightful detour. I was buckling in and reaching for the key to start up the car when this cat ran up the stairs to my townhome. Knowing that strays can be hard to catch because of the numerous sewage drains, I hustled out of my car. The startled cat looked for an escape, but the porch is hemmed in by iron bars.
I began to softly chant “Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,,,, here, kitty, kitty, kitty, ” The cat immediately calmed. I scooped it up.
The calico was in good shape, no twigs or burrs and it was very stout. It is one of the cutest calicos I have ever seen. It has got a orange triangle set squarely between its eyes and a little white spot on its nose. Add to that four white paws and ruff; I knew this declawed pet hadn’t been on the street long. I locked the lost pet in my bathroom with some water and fresh salmon (canned) before hurrying on to my lunch appointment.
My four-year old had a blast following the cat around while I made signs: Lost: Calico Cat. After posting them I began asking around. I found the calico’s home, just around the corner. I cannot even resent the delay from completing the myriad things on my to do list… it was a day well spent.
